Overview
California state prisons have been particularly affected by Coccidioidomycosis, as far back as 1919. In 2005 and 2006, the Pleasant Valley State Prison near Coalinga and Avenal State Prison near Avenal on the western side of the San Joaquin Valley had the highest incidence rate in 2005, of at least 3,000 per 100,000 [4]. It is endemic in certain parts of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and northwestern Mexico.[1]
Fungus can infect other animals apart from humans such as
- Cattle & livestock

- many kind of zoo animals such as kangaroos, wallabies, tigers ,bears , otters etc.
- Marine mammals such as dolphins and
- Occasional wildlife in endemic areas. [2]
